I'm sorry I was a bit absent and haven't been posting as much as usual! Things are slowly getting back to normal...After the Christmas holidays and all the travelling back & forth to Croatia, working and being sick...I found it was a bit harder to get back to my everyday routine!
There was ton of housework to do, friends to meet up with and some business projects to discuss...
I had to focus on these things first, in order to be a happy blogger later :)
I hope you understand!
The point is, now I'm back, and here on my blog I'm trying to catch up on my recent youtube video posts because I want to keep you guys informed on what's going on "over there", on my beauty and fashion channels!
About all the other exciting news, you'll be informed when the time comes! ;)
Back to fashion...recently I uploaded two OOTD videos (I haven't been able to take a few outfit pics to post here, because it was either too dark in the afternoon - dang those winter months!, or I was already running late to a meeting, I was lucky to get a chance to film my outfit in the first place!)
So, there are no outfit pics, but here are the OOTD videos that show well how I was dressed in these colder days of the year:
Urban Style (in the fog): Dr. Martens Boots & Plaid Shirt
Outfit # 1 Bag: ZARA Shirt: H&M Boots: Dr. Martens
Today I have prepared for you a fashion haul in a pics...
I also filmed a video feat. this haul, and you can watch it here:
These are all the items that I got in a local shops here in Italy, where I live.
Some of these brands are available on-line, some of them are a no-name brands...You requested me to provide you with the links to the mentioned brands, so I googled them and bellow you'll find all the links that I was able to find. :)
I hope you find this helpful, in case you're interested in a certain brand that I mentioned in this haul.
Made in Italy fashion haul, here we go....
At NICO fashion store I got this really lovely, long coat, and some really cute & warm sweaters for the colder days...
The prices were very affordable, so overall I was very pleased with this shopping experience.
Madonna for Girls
Brave Soul (is actually a british clothing brand, but it's sold at NICO fashion stores here in Italy, and this was the first time I heard about this brand..I actually really loved the design, and the prices too!) BraveSoul
This beautiful, sparkly sweater is also by Brave Soul. This season, you could have found very similar sweaters at Zara, but the price was twice as high! Zara sweaters were sold at cca 50€, whereas the Brave Soul ones were at cca 25€ (that was quite a discovery!!!)
At Oviesse (the italian H&M, as I like to call this store!), I got a few items too:
I'm sorry I wasn't able to update my blog throughout these holidays, because I was travelling-working-being sick...altogether, I was very busy! But I kept thinking about all of you, my lovely readers ♥♥ and I couldn't wait to write my first post in the 2014. !!!
I wish you a year full of happiness, joy & success!!!
Now, first things first...I have a little update for you...
Finally, I became an owner of a smartphone (it was about time, lol!). I'm really enjoying the world of "smart-phoning", and the very first thing I did was...I created an instagram account, of course!
If you have instagram too, you can follow me HERE!
If you have some cool, must- have apps that you'd like to recommend, please leave me your comments!
So far, I've downloaded Pinterest (you can find me HERE, even though I haven't started using it properly yet...), Snapseed, WhatsApp, Viber, FACEBOOK...
Anyway, in this blog post I wanted to give you a quick glimpse of what I was up to during the past holidays season...and leave you with a couple of vlogs recommendation (vlogs that I uploaded recently on my channel...)
Even though it was holiday season, I tried to eat as healthy as I can
and to start my day with a...happy, healthy breakfast!
yummy salads for a quick brunch...
When I was at home, I pampered myself with a pure argan oil...it felt good, spending
the entire day in my pajamas and with just an argan oil on my face :) spa treatment at home ♥
I was experimenting with different hairstyles...
Let me know if you'd like to see a tutorial!
this is the side braid I did for work...
...by the end of the day, it was super messy and it didn't even look
like a braid anymore, but oh well..it was a busy, chaotic day at work!
lol
It's definitely a hairstyle I'm going to wear again, as I got many compliments on it!
(more is shown in my video log!)
In December, my hubby's cousin was getting married, so we were invited to the ceremony!
It was beautiful, but very cold!
This is the make up I did for the occasion, do you like it?
I showed it to you a bit better in my vlog!
I got asked what it was that I used as a foundation, as it photographs so well...
The answer is: Bourjois Healthy Mix (I'm in a shade 52), but the "secret" is in a primer: YSL Top Secrets primer (the container with the brush- the best thing ever! I HAVE to do a review on it! Remind me to do that soon!)
When we got to my home in Rijeka, Croatia, we decorated our
little Christmas tree...
Rijeka on the last day of 2013. ...
I was ready for the New Year's Eve fireworks!
...and so was my hubby! ;)
hubby was having fun!
